Simon Prendergast

Simon Prendergast (died 1920) was an Irish judge who lived in Dublin, Ireland during the 1920s. He subscribed to the Irish republican publication The Irish Bulletin during the Irish War of Independence, and, following the IRA's murder of Inland Revenue accountant Albert Saunders in 1920, General Ormonde Winter sent RIC constable David McLeod to pick a Bulletin subscriber to frame for the murder. McLeod came to Prendergast's home and shot him in the doorway, killing him.
